At FullHD in combination with a medium and a high preset there is an up to 28% increase in frames per second visible.

Although PCs have become more efficient compared to a few years ago, there are still gaming PCs that require big power supplies. Silverstone has introduced its new Strider Titanium series of premium power supply units that will be available with 1100W, 1300W and 1500W of output power and feature modular design as well as a 7-year warranty plan.

Here is a summary of what you missed this week! We have received many configurations via email, we thank all our fans and next week we will continue uploading new pictures. Stay tuned! If you'd like to join, send to us a message at our official facebook page: facebook

Although the acclaimed launch date will be somewhen in August news leaks related to Coffee Lake are making it through almost every day now. This time Wccftech jumped the gun and they found another leak in the Geekbench database. In order to do some comparison, we have run quick test with our Core i7-5820K at stock clocks.

With the MZ30-AR0 Gigabyte introduced their first single-socket motherboard for AMDs EPYC processors, which will allow for building potent workstations mainly as well as servers with up to 32 cores and 64 threads. The board will feature AMD’s new SP3r2 LGA socket making you worry less about the possibility of bent pins.

LG already has a wide portfolio at hand when it comes to displays and even gaming monitors. Meanwhile the Koreans are introducing another model, which goes by the product name 34UC89G-B.

Back in the days when the Litecoin started to become more valuable and when it was still possible to mine those coins with graphics cards instead of specific ASIC - which are now used for that purpose - ocaholic was also actively working on securing it’s slice of the cake. These days, since the price of Ethereum simply exploded, there is another mining hype going on and on that background a ton of hardware enthusiasts decided to fire up their rigs again and buying all GPUs that are possibly available on the market.

The launch of AMD’s RX Vega series graphics cards is one of those that’s being expected but it apparently takes ages until it happens. According to latest information it’s supposed to take place in early-August or even late-July during the Siggraph 2017 event.

External graphics card docks are not so common, yet there are many reasons why this could change. During this year’s Computex, Gigabyte has shown the Aorus GTX 1070 Gaming Box and it looks like one of the best solutions so far. The box not only comes pre-packed with an ITX-sized GTX 1070 it's also one of the smallest external GPU cases we’ve seen so far, which makes perfect sense keeping in mind that it’s most likely going to be combined with a notebook or a mini PC.

EVGA is the last one amongst the motherboard vendors to announce their X299 motherboards. Like in the past, when a new chipset was launched, EVGA has prepared three new models. This time they have come up with two E-ATX form factor ones, which go by the name X299 Dark and X299 FTW K as well as a mATX X299 Micro.

Already last year, AMD had first shown their upcoming Radeon Instinct compute accelerators as well as the Radeon Open Compute platform (ROCm). These accelerators are designed to challenge NVIDIA in the deep learning and machine intelligence field of application. At the time, AMD didn’t share much information about the specifications of these accelerators. Nevertheless AMD has finally announced the MI25, which is their new flagship model.

AMD has released a list of Ryzen compatible DDR4 memory kits that have been tested at rated speeds with Ryzen CPUs at D.O.C.P. settings. According to AMD, some of these kits will require the the BIOS to be updated so the latest AGESA 1.0.0.6 microcode is in place.
